37 days since my last post... haha thats a pretty long time. but it also means... 37 days closer to ORD! hahaha. tmr marks the '100 days left' point... there's no turning back now :D (not that there was ever any turning back.. but just felt right to say that haha)
ahhh things are still as shitty and busy as ever, what with the amount of parades i have on. this week there's my own battalion's CO change of command parade.. following the COArty COC last week. and not to forget NDP preview... which wasn't as shiok as i expected it to be. the sheer amount of rehearsals has taken all the kick out of standing there infront of 50k plus people.. the only meaningful one so far has been the NE show. its amazing to hear a whole stadium of kids (yeah primary 5 mah) singing 'my home, wherever i may be. i believe you will always be a part of me'. damn shiok lah. haha im a closet patriot.
aside from that... why the sudden impetus to blog? well haha something pretty amazing happened today. amazing not because it was amazing (it was something that im sure happens all the time) but amazing because of the timing of it. what makes moments special is there very fleeting nature of it; and the way it captures a place in your memory for years to come. well i was at gramaphone hunting around for cds (i love my music) when this cute girl came up to me and went 'hi may i help you?' as usual i was like 'no its okay thanks =)' but haha it made me realise something. she had such a lively and (for lack of a better word) happy face.. and thats something that has been missing from my life. not a cute girl (there are plenty... hahaha i mean you, you, and you =) ) but the zest for life. everyday has been siansville to me.. and thats just draining me. i might be growing up.. but im not going to lose the child in me. haha you know what i mean. i'll redifine the meaning of maturity.. =)
well this is basically just a 'make myself feel good' post. but i do feel good. or even if i dont, i'll convince myself that i do.
suddenly the world seems such a perfect place. suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace. suddenly my life doesnt seem such a waste.im finding out what it means to live again.
or so it seems, at 9:24 PM
